In the second book in the New York Times bestselling mystery series, Veronica Mars is back with a case that will expose the hidden workings of one of Neptune’s most murderous locations.The Neptune Grand has always been the seaside town’s ritziest hotel, despite the shady dealings and high-profile scandals that seem to follow its elite guests. When a woman claims that she was brutally assaulted in one of its rooms and left for dead by a staff member, the owners know that they have a potential powder keg on their hands. They turn to Veronica to disprove—or prove—the woman’s story.The case is a complicated mix of hard facts, mysterious occurrences, and uncooperative witnesses. The hotel refuses to turn over its reservation list and the victim won’t divulge who she was meeting that night. Add in the facts that the attack happened months ago, the victim’s memory is fuzzy, and there are holes in the hotel’s surveillance system, and Veronica has a convoluted mess on her hands. As she works to fill in the missing pieces, it becomes clear that someone is lying—but who? And why?
A Ghostly Grave (Ghostly Southern Mystery, 2) – Tonya Kappes
There’s a ghost on the loose—and a fox in the henhouse
Four years ago, the Eternal Slumber Funeral Home put Chicken Teater in the ground. Now undertaker Emma Lee Raines is digging him back up. The whole scene is bad for business, especially with her granny running for mayor and a big festival setting up in town. But ever since Emma Lee started seeing ghosts, Chicken’s been pestering her to figure out who killed him.
With her handsome boyfriend, Sheriff Jack Henry Ross, busy getting new forensics on the old corpse, Emma Lee has time to look into her first suspect. Chicken’s widow may be a former Miss Kentucky, but the love of his life was another beauty queen: Lady Cluckington, his prize-winning hen. Was Mrs. Teater the jealous type? Chicken seems to think so. Something’s definitely rotten in Sleepy Hollow—and Emma Lee just prays it’s not her luck.
Rogue Wave (Waterfire Saga, 2) – Jennifer Donnelly
In this exciting sequel to DEEP BLUE, Serafina uncovers more clues about the talismans, Neela ventures into a sea dragon’s nest, and Ling learns the identity of their foe.
Serafina, Neela, Ling, Ava, Becca, and Astrid, six mermaids from realms scattered throughout the seas and freshwaters, were summoned by the leader of the river witches to learn an incredible truth: the mermaids are direct descendants of the Six Who Ruled-powerful mages who once governed the lost empire of Atlantis. The ancient evil that destroyed Atlantis is stirring again, and only the mermaids can defeat it. To do so, they need to find magical talismans that belonged to the Six.
Serafina believes her talisman was buried with an old shipwreck. While researching its location, she is almost discovered by a death rider patrol led by someone familiar. . . . The pain of seeing him turned traitor is devastating.
Neela travels to Matali to warn her parents of the grave threat facing their world. But they find her story outlandish; a sign that she needs to be confined to her chamber for rest and recovery. She escapes and travels to Kandina, where her talisman is in the possession of fearsome razormouth dragons.
As they hunt for their talismans, both Serafina and Neela find reserves of courage and cunning they didn’t know they possessed. They face down danger and death, only to endure a game-changing betrayal, as shocking as a rogue wave.

The cover for Rogue Wave is gorgeous, Melliane! It’s so beautiful I might read it, even if I’m not really a big fan of mermaids.
Your other books look good, too, I hope you’ll enjoy them all.
Have a great weekend, and happy reading.

The cover for Rogue Wave is beautiful-I really love the colours! I don’t think it’s my genre but I hope it is as good as it looks! Enjoy your haul!
Jessica @ a GREAT read
OOooh very nice! I so want to read the Tonya Kappes books. EW rejected me for them. Sob!
And ooh Veronica Mars! I still need to finish season 3, get the movie and watch it AND then start the book series! So yeah, a bit behind! My Amazon Prime acted goofy the last time I wanted to finish season 3! Sooooo annoying! It wouldn’t play the video and just kept “thinking”! It was very annoying and devastating since the membership price went up. Better work next time too!!
Sorry for the ranting! ;P Hope you enjoy all your awesome new reads!
My STS will be up tomorrow, stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

I had a very rough week this week 🙁 My brother got hurt a week ago Thursday so I spent the entire week travelling 5 hours round trip to the hospital to help him! He’s finally home and doing well, thank God!
LOL, you’re getting a lot of ranting today!
Great shelf!

Nice haul this week! The cover for Rogue Wave is sooo beautiful, but I’ve heard enough horror stories about book one that I’m hesitant about picking up the series.

Je n’ai pas lu le premier tome de Deep Blue (même si j’en ai vraiment envie, raah mais qu’est-ce que j’attends ?!) mais la couverture du second tome est tout aussi magnifique !!
Je m’appelle Lumikki me tente aussi.
Très bonne semaine 😉 !
Melliane
Il n’est pas si génial Depp Blue donc ce n’est pas grave. Je veux voir si ça s’arrange pour la suite.
alison
Il y a des livres sur Veronica Mars ? Alors là je suis curieuse !! Tu peux m’en dire plus ???
Melliane
ouiii ! Je n’ai pas encore lu le 1 mais tout le monde adore. Je n’ai vu que des avis excellents. C’est sur la suite du film qui est sorti. Donc aprés la fin de la série et aprés le film. Je n’ai pas encore tenté mais bientot j’espère !
alison
Il y a des livres Veronica Mars ?!
Melliane
oui comme je t’ai répondu avant.
alison
Ahhh bah voilà mes commentaires fonctionnent … Je ne les voyais pas apparaitre, même quelques jours après. Voilà pourquoi je t’avais écris un doublon ^^
Ils existent en français dis moi ?
melliane
pas de soucis. Les Veronica? Je ne crois pas. le 1 est sorti cette année et le 2 là que j’ai eu n’est pas encore sorti aux US.
